About Me

Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!

I'm enjoying the series on ladies of the circus. Also appreciated seeing the photos from the Tim Holst memorial. One brought back a memory.

In my youth the circus was the Polack Bros. show that played Hammond, IN in January. For several seasons they had a fine risley act, the Fredonias. The acrobatics were great but as a high school-aged male I really enjoyed watching the attractive, talented young lady in the act. Surprise, surprise, she appeared on Yesterday's Towns. Any photos of the Fredonia act?

Jim A.:Somewhere on the blog there is a not too good video of the Polack Bros. with the Fredonias, & I think I have a photo, if I can find it in my "Biblical Filing System",(that's seek & ye shall find).
